For the first 20 minutes I could not see an image as we muddled around through two buildings. I hated the zillion footprints in the sand and I am not a fan of the 20 stop range of some of the in the building through the window to sunlit desert scenes. When I found this room with no sand on the floor and not a window to the outside world in sight, I was off and running as my creative juices began to flow. <\/p>\n<p>I did find myself wishing for the 100-400II for more than a few images. I am bringing it along with the 11-24mm on our afternoon photo session. You should be seeing some close-up detail oriented and\/or abstract type images if I can get back online successfully again. <\/p>\n<h3>Please Remember to use our Affiliate Links \ud83d\ude42<\/h3>\n<p>To show your appreciation for my continuing efforts here, we ask, as always, that you get in the habit of using my B&#038;H affiliate links on the right side of the blog for all of your photo and electronics purchases.
